About Ao Nid Pier

Ao Nid Pier is the primary arrival and departure point for travelers making their way to and from Ko Mak, a quieter island in the Koh Chang archipelago in eastern Thailand. The pier handles ferry and speedboat services connecting Ko Mak to the mainland and neighboring islands, making it a practical transit hub for anyone exploring this part of the Gulf of Thailand.

Visitors can expect a small, no-frills waterfront pier typical of the outer islands in the region. Facilities are basic, and the focus is entirely on passenger transfers rather than any commercial or leisure activity. Despite its modest size, the pier is well-regarded by travelers passing through, reflecting reliable and straightforward service for those making the crossing.

It is worth noting that ferry schedules in this region are subject to seasonal variation, particularly during the monsoon season, which typically runs from May through October, when some routes may operate less frequently or be suspended entirely. Travelers are advised to confirm departure times in advance with their accommodation or ferry operator, as no official website is available for the pier. Arriving with sufficient time before departure is recommended, as services can fill up during peak travel periods.

Rent Scooters Carefully

Always photograph the scooter's existing damage before riding off, and keep your passport — give a photocopy instead (some shops insist on the original; avoid these). Wear a helmet; police fine 500 THB for no helmet and accidents without one void insurance.
